Hollywood Rhapsody

Following the rhythm of Daniel Day Lewis, the two names Leonardo DiCaprio and Sarah Stern also disappeared from the crew, and whether it was the three of them or the rest of the crew began to It was a novel experience for Leonardo to call them by the names of the characters in the movie, and the whole crew could see that he was borrowing the acting method of Daniel Day Lewis, although he was obviously not as involved as Lewis. Deep, but there is still a little progress, especially in the company of Sarah, his performance will surprise Martin Scorsese almost every day, it seems that since Sarah came, Leonardo's performance status They are all activated!

Martin Scorsese even came up with a whim and asked Leonardo to re-act a previous scene. This is a very important scene. Leonardo confronted the butcher who killed his father and enemy for the first time. The previous version obviously did not satisfy Martin.

What kind of mood should you feel when you see a father-killing enemy confessing his father's photo with great care?Leonardo looked at Daniel Day-Lewis not far away, and couldn't remember how he acted before. He only knew that he was in a complicated mood now, but his strongest desire was still to kill the butcher in front of him. !

Daniel Day Lewis at the poker table signaled Leonardo to approach, and Leonardo's eyes quickly fell on the photo of his father, surprise flashed in his eyes, but only for a moment, he hid it very well, he His facial muscles are a little tense, it looks like the tension caused by being close to the gang boss, but through Leonardo's performance, people can't help but think of his tangled mood at the moment, he is not nervous, but forbearing Angry, his eyes were lowered, he didn't want to look at his father and enemy, he was afraid that if he looked at him, he would not be able to help but rush up and fight. In the flesh of the index finger, this is a very, very small movement, and it doesn't even appear in the camera at all, but it is this movement that shows his mood and state at the moment. He is not Leonardo now, but the one who is carrying The Amsterdam who killed his father, he is not for acting, he really entered the role, everything seems to be just his instinctive reaction, he is nervous, but at the same time suppressing excitement and hatred, he will take revenge sooner or later!No, revenge is coming soon!

"You young man, what's your name?" Daniel Day Lewis looked at Leonardo who had been standing quietly in the distance, a little casually, this is just a young man.

The sudden question made Leonardo tense immediately. He turned his head and finally looked directly at the enemy who killed his father and enemy. He didn't answer immediately, but pursed his lips, as if he was observing the other party, but soon he turned his body around completely , Facing the murder of his father and enemy, he replied respectfully: "Amsterdam, sir."

"Amsterdam? Heh, then I'm New York! Next time you come here, don't be stingy. You have to pay something to please my subordinates." Daniel Day-Lewis had stabbed someone's palm with a knife when he disagreed with him before. shudder.But now, looking at Leonardo, a young man, he is joking in a good mood. Although there is not much smile on his face, it makes people feel kind. This is acting skills. Looking at Daniel Day at this time ·Lewis, you never imagined that he would be a butcher who sees blood every day, and even makes people fear.

When Daniel Day Lewis was speaking, the micro-expression on Leonardo's face never stopped. He was not expressive, that would be too exaggerated!Instead, he seemed to be trying his best to keep a straight face, but because Daniel Day Lewis' joke was completely beyond his expectations, he was stunned for a moment, and his mind was full of murdering his father and his enemies These few words, but his father-killing enemy smiled and even kindly joked with himself!He lowered his head slightly, and opened his body a little further, his body still in a slightly tense state, as if he was resisting Daniel Day-Lewis' "goodwill".And when Daniel Day Lewis looked at the cards and gave him a job opportunity in a calm tone, his lips parted slightly, there was surprise and surprise in his eyes, but his brows frowned.His eyes flicked to Daniel Day-Lewis, and he still looked back for less than a second. If you look carefully, you will find that he seems to be thinking, and he is a little eager to try.

"CUT! Boy, is this the power of love? Maybe you should bring your girlfriend with you when you shoot any scenes in the future. She is your stimulant. Your performance is completely different from before!" Martin Scorsese clapped his hands happily, and his praise made Leonardo curl his mouth.

However, Martin Scorsese's next words made Sarah, who was walking happily, staggered, and tears fell from her heart, because Martin Scorsese patted Leonardo on the shoulder , as if lamenting that the weather is very good today, he announced calmly and non-negotiably: "This is the shooting effect I want, what should I do? It seems that the shots taken before have to be re-shot, yes, we have to re-shoot Shoot, for the perfect effect!"

What?Are you kidding me?Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhssesses !

But even if the trip she was looking forward to was in vain, she was still happy for dear Leonardo, because in the movie "Gangs of New York", the two male characters are full of character in terms of character setting, especially Leonardo As Amsterdam, he bears the vengeance of killing his father, but gradually understands after contact with the butcher, and begins to have a faint admiration for the killing of his father and enemy. This is a very tangled feeling, but the hatred has been deeply planted in his heart, so This kind of tangled emotion has always existed in the first half of his scenes, even the love between him and the heroine Jenny is also tangled, because Jenny used to be the butcher's woman, who killed her father and enemy like a goddaughter special existence!This has also become a hurdle in his heart, and his love has also experienced struggles.If Leonardo can perfectly interpret this state of mind, the movie will never be like the version in the previous life, at least it will not let Daniel Day Lewis take away all the charm.

"Come on my dear, you are the best!" Still wearing a costume, Sarah had surprise and encouragement in her eyes, she took the initiative to trot over, hugged her boyfriend's neck and kissed him.

Leonardo initially took on "Gangs of New York" entirely for Martin Scorsese, and as filming began, he found that the crew was full of seductive wealth for him , this is an experience that no money can buy. He has visited several acting masters and studied many acting teaching materials. However, there is nothing better than watching a performing master devote himself to creating a perfect character What about the process?Daniel Day Lewis is definitely an acting genius, and even a madman. He brought the performance methodology to the extreme, and he is Leonardo's mentor that should not be missed.

Daniel Day-Lewis plays a butcher who has learned his indifference to flesh and blood through his long-term experience in slaughtering pigs, and he also has the skill of throwing knives.The butcher is a ferocious person who regards people as flesh and blood like pigs. He can slash at a living person without blinking an eye. Better to die.In order to play the butcher well, Daniel Day Lewis asked the crew to prepare a lot of pork for him. He trained himself like a real butcher in the way of killing pigs, and in his disregard and cruelty to life.

What he plays is undoubtedly a murderer, a murderous gangster, but he also has a vulnerable side, and he portrays the character very three-dimensionally.In front of the camera, he did not use too many body movements or overly rich expressions to complete the emotional rendering. On the contrary, his performance was more restrained. The character doesn't need to be hysterical, and when he's down, he doesn't need to cry, he just sits there quietly, almost quietly letting the audience feel his emotions, which is the real thing The performance, the wonderful to the extreme performance.He was no longer Daniel Day-Lewis, he was the butcher with extremes and weaknesses.

This whole-hearted performance method once troubled Leonardo, because Leonardo had hoped to communicate with Daniel Day-Lewis and figure out the role together, but facing Daniel Day-Lewis who had completely become a butcher , Let alone normal communication, Leonardo even felt that the other party might stab him with a butcher knife if he disagreed with him, and it was for this reason that he complained to Sarah on the phone.However, the situation is different now. I really can’t tell whether it’s because Leonardo finally found the way, or because Sarah joined the crew to drive his rhythm. In short, Leonardo began to understand the soul of the character on a deeper level. up.

As Leonardo said on the phone, Sarah also adopts the performance method of integrating herself into the role, but the degree of her integration is not as deep as Daniel Day Lewis, so in the process of trying to figure out the role, she will not forget Know who you are, and you won't be unable to communicate with Leonardo normally because of the role you bring in.She unreservedly shared her experience with Leonardo, whether it was psychological hints over and over again, or constantly emptying her brain like self-mutilation, bringing the role she played into memory, and even completing what was not written in the script Part of it is like repairing an antique, completing a jigsaw puzzle, and completing the character through one's own speculation and imagination, making the character more three-dimensional regardless of personality, habits, and even life, as if a real living, flesh-and-blood person.This is Sarah's method. She believes that if the character is incomplete in her mind, then of course the character in the performance will not be complete.

Is it easy to complete your own character prototype like this?It sounds like nothing more than brainstorming and imagination, but it is no easy task to actually complete it.Leonardo kept trying, following Sarah's rhythm and groping a little bit. Fortunately, his hard work paid off, and finally he finally found the way.His Amsterdam is more and more alive, the filming is smoother because of it, he no longer feels overwhelmed when facing Daniel Day-Lewis, because he is also a member of this film universe, his emotions and his His thoughts belong to Amsterdam, he doesn't need to think about what performance to use to match Daniel Day-Lewis, he just needs to "be himself" naturally!

It is precisely because of the relationship between the characters that the two male protagonists in the crew are facing each other almost all the time. Even when they are resting, their eye contact seems to be full of gunpowder, especially when filming a duel scene. Before, Leonardo spent a whole day soaking himself in the gym, cultivating his emotions through boxing, and in the afternoon, Daniel Day Lewis actually came. At that moment, other players in the gym People almost thought that the two would duel in advance, and they had a big fight in the gym. At that time, even Sarah's whole heart was raised in her throat.And there are many similar situations, which sometimes make the staff of the crew very troubled, and sometimes they take it as talkative material.

But in any case, as a film director, Martin Scorsese is happy to see this. From his enthusiasm for shooting every day, it can be seen that he has also completely entered a state of excitement, and shooting has become a rare He is also full of expectations for this movie.

In this amazing state, the filming of Sarah's role was not even finished in August, but she was not in a hurry to leave, but stayed on the crew. I can't bear to miss the opportunity to observe and learn, this is a valuable course that cannot be measured by money. She is improving day by day with Leonardo. Progress and be happy.She began to be obsessed with watching the filming materials, and recalled the version of "Gangs of New York" in her previous life in her mind. Whenever this happened, her heart was filled with joy, because only she knew that her dear Mr. DiCaprio had What a great growth, as Martin Scorsese said, two Leons, one in front of one and one in the back, perform like two different people.

Harvey Weinstein visited the set during filming, so did Michael Ovitz, and even Star Wars director George Lucas visited the Italian set.The great director who created the miracle of special effects was amazed by the superb acting skills of the three leading actors, but he couldn't help complaining about Martin Scorsese. He thought that it was a waste of time and money for the old Martin to make a special trip to Italy to shoot scenes. These old New York street scenes are actually All can be synthesized by computer special effects.

"You should keep up with the trend of the times. Special effects are the greatest technology in the history of movies. And, don't you happen to have a special effects master on your crew? Even James Cameron praised her very much, didn't she tell you , Can these sets be realized with computer special effects?" George Lucas said while casting a puzzled look at Sarah.Martin Scorsese also heard the words and looked over.

Sarah coughed lightly in embarrassment, spread her hands and said, "This project is not Starlight. I didn't participate in the preparation work at all, so I don't know the filming plan of the movie! What's more, I'm just a college student. Special effects techniques are still being learned..."

Hearing Sarah's self-effaced words, George Lucas just raised his eyebrows and didn't continue the topic. He was quite concerned about special effects. Of course, he knew that Starlight Company had acquired Weta Studios. It would make him care so much, but he heard that the filming of "The Lord of the Rings" has a lot of special effects needs, so he didn't ask Industrial Light and Magic to cooperate?This really surprised him, and he even approached Michael Ovitz and New Line with great interest, and even happened to meet James Cameron. Although the special effects of "The Lord of the Rings" are progressing slowly, the current effects are enough to surprise George Lucas, and I heard that Sarah has contributed to this. He doesn't know what Sarah has done, but this The girl obviously has a lot of research on special effects.

However, these small thoughts only passed in George Lucas's mind. In front of Martin Scorsese who couldn't wait to show off the wonderful performance material, George Lucas' attention was quickly attracted away , Seeing the superb performances of Leonardo and Sarah, he couldn't help being a little envious. Which director doesn't want his actors to be geniuses?It's a pity that neither Leonardo nor Sarah belong to him... The more I look at it, the more I like it, and the more I look at it, the more frustrated I am, George Lucas couldn't help sighing, his tone was a bit sour: "If these two little guys catch my "" How good it would be in Star Wars! Humph! You took it all away!"

Back then, George Lucas invited Leonardo to participate in "Star Wars", but he was rejected by that brat without hesitation. As for Sarah, he never thought about this little girl who was not well-known at the time. , how could he have thought that this girl would become so popular now!And the acting skills are so superb that even Katharine Hepburn appreciates it!Speaking of which, his leading actress, Natalie Portman, is not bad either!If there is no Sarah in front, Natalie should be the best actress of their age, right?Unfortunately, after seeing Sarah's acting skills and seeing the box office of "Mission: Impossible", which swept the summer film, George Lucas couldn't get rid of the regret.

"George Lucas and Harvey Weinstein both think Gangs of New York is very good and has the potential to win an Oscar." When Michael Ovitz visited the set, he watched Lai, who was acting opposite on the set. Leonardo and Daniel Day-Lewis said to Sarah who was sitting next to her, "Although your chances of winning Best Supporting Actress with this film are very small, it should be no problem to get nominated."

"The movie hasn't even finished shooting yet, and you're thinking about the Oscars? Is it too early?" Sarah shook her head with a smile.

"Too early? Your "Boys Don't Cry" was planned before the filming started!" Michael poked Sarah on the forehead angrily, "It seems that you don't care about this movie, or that you Are you getting tired of Oscar?"

"If you think about it with your toes, you know that my chances of winning another statuette in the next three years are zero, so..." Sarah shrugged her shoulders quite confidently, looking at her boyfriend in the distance and whispering, "So right now I'm more I care about Leon's performance, look, how good he is now!"

"It's true. If he keeps in this state, it's not impossible to catch up with you." Michael nodded, but what he said made Sarah dumbfounded.

"Catch me? Isn't it impossible? Hey! You're wrong, yes! It's a matter of time before he wins an Oscar, and I'm not sure if I can win another statuette." Sarah put her hands on the In the back of her head, she didn't feel disappointed when she said these words. Instead, she whistled easily. Under Michael's interested gaze, she turned her head and chuckled, "Is the statuette really that important? Maybe ...But guess what insights I have gained from filming these days... The greatest happiness of an actor should not be the moment when he stands on the podium, but the process of shaping the character. Maybe you will think that I am talking about high-sounding It’s a joke, but after watching Daniel Day Lewis’s performance, I found that I was still far behind, pondering with Leon and working hard to improve my acting skills, this seems to be my happiest moment.”

"No, you and Leon don't want to become like Daniel Day-Lewis. Seriously, one Daniel Day-Lewis is enough for Hollywood!" Michael showed a panicked expression when he heard this, and shook his head. He looked around and made sure there was no one before he lowered his voice and said to Sarah, "You only heard that people praised his acting skills, but didn't you notice the awkward and tangled expressions when people talked about him? He is a serial There is no other way in Hollywood. People praise him and at the same time stay away from him. In fact, people don’t like him as much as they seem, especially when he is filming, he is separated from everyone. He is in a world that is completely his own In this world, this is quite helpless and even annoying, no one would like such a lunatic."

"...It's not as exaggerated as you said!" Sarah twitched the corners of her mouth, "And I can't reach his level, you know me, can you imagine being calm and rational like me making myself crazy? No, of course not, there is always a string in my head that is awake. As for Leon... probably not... right..."

"I don't know for sure, just watch the final effect of the movie. If the acting skills have obviously improved, it would be a good public relations stunt." Michael's mind was spinning quickly, and he had already thought of the feasibility of operating awards for Leonardo. I'm afraid that Daniel Day Lewis played too well, covering up Leonardo's brilliance...

In Hollywood, in fact, the work cycle is very poor. Year after year, I rack my brains for better box office results, and year after year, I do my best for the more dazzling Oscar awards, just like this, year after year... Michael let out a long sigh, looked at Sarah with emotion, and threw his briefcase into Sarah's lap without saying a word: "I won't talk nonsense with you, just look for yourself and see if you like it."

"What? Your new script?" Sarah raised her brows. She wasn't too eager, but Michael was afraid that she would miss Katharine Hepburn's Dongfeng. He had already searched for several scripts in the past two months. It's a pity that Sarah didn't like it. It's not that she is picky, but her huge reading volume has already formed the most perfect yardstick. In terms of script selection, she is even higher than Michael, so it is natural to be as she sees it. There are few and far between.In addition to the masterpieces I have seen in my previous life, there are of course hidden gems in Hollywood's countless scripts, but whether she can meet her is really a matter of luck!

"Some are new to our company, and some are from Harvey Weinstein. The two of us chatted a lot on the plane. He really cares about you. He probably decided to follow the new queen of Hollywood!" Michael wrote. I curled my lips, feeling that Harvey Weinstein is trying to steal his job, but Miramax does have a lot of good books, don’t read them for nothing, “I know you like to read, so you’ve heard of Ellie Is Murdoch the author? Harvey has the first draft of the script for this biographical film about the life of the legendary author Alice Murdoch."

Sarah paused when she opened the briefcase, and she had already thought of a movie starring Kate Winslet and Judi Dench, "Iris" (Chinese name "Hand in Hand"), but that Seems like a British movie, right?

Sure enough, when she found out the first draft of the script of "Life Together", Michael continued: "I think this project is very suitable for you. It has a strong literary and artistic atmosphere. It is a typical Austrian film. It is different from all your previous roles. , so it’s worth trying. We don’t want to win prizes by participating in the show, but to maintain a sense of presence in the academy with the frequency of one Austrian literary film a year. Do you have any objections to this strategy? Hehe, but this book can’t be counted as you yet Yes, I heard that there are many people participating in the role competition in the UK, especially the main creative team is British, so whether you can win this role is still a question... Have you heard of it? There are three types of actors in this world, male actors, female actors Actors, and British actors, unfortunately, you are not the third category..."

"..." Sarah had the urge to touch her forehead. She had never heard of this sentence, but British actors are indeed very special——

Compared with non-professional actors everywhere in Hollywood, most British actors have systematic professional studies in acting, are familiar with classical literature, and recite large sections of Shakespeare's original works. This kind of profound basic skills is not possessed by most Hollywood actors. Therefore, although a large number of British actors yearn to develop in Hollywood, there is still an obvious xenophobic complex in the production of British local films. Does the crew of "Life Together" see Sarah?It's really hard to say!

"When is the audition? Who are my main competitors?" Sarah tapped her finger on the cover of the script without even looking at it, and asked Michael directly.

"As far as I know, although there are quite a few actors who are interested in the role, the producer really hopes to invite Kate Winslet to join, which means that girl is your biggest competitor, tsk, let the two of you go When we get together, I can't help but think of Leon!" Michael cast his gaze to the center of the set jokingly, then quickly looked back at Sarah, and continued with a laugh, "Miss Winslet is currently the hottest young actress in Britain. , she has a unique and beautiful temperament, she is indeed very attractive, but it is a pity that she is pregnant now, and it is said that she will not be able to give birth until around October this year, so if you get it done before then, hehe... your appearance Absolutely not a problem, the important thing is the British pronunciation and the understanding of the characters. If you are interested in the script, you can take the time to read the literary works of Alice Murdoch. I will also hire a language coach for you of."

"That's no problem. I can take a coach with me on a trip to China, learn as I go, and make the most of my time." Sarah planned with a smile. Line skills are also a compulsory course for an actor. There is also a plan to learn and practice British pronunciation for the performance of "Life Together". In addition, she even intends to go to the UK to experience "the birth of a British actor" when she is free in the future. It is to accumulate experience for diversified performances!

Michael also agrees with this idea very much: "The British demeanor unique to British actors is quite charming. I agree with your plan. There is no harm in learning more while you are young, and...ahem...I originally planned to If you can’t find a suitable book, I will create a literary film just for you. It’s okay to choose some world famous works for adaptation. It’s a pity that Leonardo can’t make another version of "Romeo and Juliet" with you, but other famous works What's more, the previous adaptation of "Sense and Sensibility" directed by Ang Lee is good. We can try "Pride and Prejudice", "Jane Eyre", and "Wuthering Heights". What do you think? Maybe you can also try How about a remake of a classic old film, such as "Gone with the Wind"? Is it challenging enough? Since some people say that you succeeded Vivien Leigh, who has both beauty and acting skills, then you might as well challenge Vivien Leigh's classic, tsk , It's very exciting to think about it!"

"Hehe... please forgive me, Michael... I still want to live in peace for a few more days!" Sarah smiled dryly while twitching the corners of her mouth, while flipping through the other scripts in the briefcase, quickly reading, While casually arguing with Michael, "Instead of thinking about remaking "Gone with the Wind", I might as well think about taking some handsome British guy to accompany me on a tour of China, but unfortunately Orlando Bloom is still filming "Lord of the Rings", otherwise I can invite Together with him, there is a handsome guy by his side, learning and playing both, this is the real enjoyment of life!"

"What? What did I hear just now? Our little Sarah is going to find another handsome guy to go to China?" Leonardo, who had just finished filming, happened to hear his little girlfriend's imagination when he came over. , couldn't help rubbing his ears with a dark face, "It's terrible, Michael, did you hear what Sarah said just now? Could it be that my ears are hallucinating?"

"Who told you to be busy filming! So poor, I had to find another playmate..." Sarah was not afraid of Leonardo being jealous at all, and even raised her small chin, folded her arms and felt wronged.

But before he finished speaking, Leonardo hugged him into his arms, and regardless of the fact that there was Michael next to him, he kissed him domineeringly angrily.

"Okay... I knew it! I knew it! I flew all the way from Los Angeles to Italy just to see this!" Michael let out a long breath, his tone was like "enough" or "finally... I've been waiting for this to come out for a long time," complaining in a low voice rather entangled.

The author has something to say: Meme!Who says I'm not good enough, Leon?Hmph, he just opened up a little later...

"Gangs of New York" is very important to Leon, so a lot of pen and ink is used here to highlight Leon's progress!

In the end...Michael is definitely the true fan of Lisa Lian, and there is no one who travels thousands of miles to eat dog food!Touch Michael's "dog head": woof woof!woof woof!
